It’s the thing that gets you going, keeps you moving and lets you believe when all other indicators say “give up!”

And it’s catching, so customers will pick up on it and be much more likely to buy.

Thanks for joining in!

As we all know, word of mouth is powerful stuff. Those cupcakes must be amazing to get this kind of attention.

Man, $6.50 for cupcakes (plus shipping) hurts, and I’ve only ever ordered them once (for my SIL who is on bedrest and loves cake) but I eye them each week.

I’ve never tasted them, but my SIL texted me yesterday morning at about 10am and said “when do they post the cupcakes??? I keep refreshing!”

I’m going to assume she ended up ordering more.

As far as I know, Bangerang (formerly Fat Daddy’s, a name I liked much better) exists completely on word of mouth. I know I’ve certainly talked them up via Twitter and Search Engine Guide…and here you are doing the same. :)

Yum.
